Chapter 712: Counterfeiting of Art
Huang Chengcheng's expression was embarrassed and he didn't say anything.
"At that time, I had been a brand dealer in Thailand for several years," Kaohsiung said, lighting a cigarette, "and it just so happened that an old customer in Zhanjiang wanted to ask for a limited edition of Master Long Po genuine brand, and I couldn't find it in the world." Later, a familiar brand dealer told Kaohsiung that there was a jewelry store in Bangkok, and Boss Huang had a lot of genuine cards in his hands, and he could ask him. ”
So Kaohsiung came to Huang Chengcheng's shop, and after hearing the name of the Buddha card, Huang Chengxin immediately said that there was yes, and took it out of the big drawer in the bedroom and handed it to Kaohsiung, saying that he had skewered it from a brand dealer two years ago, and the shipping price was 25,000 baht, and he did not bargain. Kaohsiung took the amulet and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see that there was a problem, so he happily paid and took the amulet away. On the way back to the apartment by bus, the sun was shining, and Kaohsiung looked at the strong light outside the window, carefully watching the body of the card. The shell is acrylic and bonded very firmly and delicately with the sterling silver shell, which is simply a work of art.
Suddenly, Kaohsiung saw that there was something wrong with the blank inside, this was a nine-layer Chongdi card, which was blessed by Long Popei, and the last batch was also a few years ago, so it was not easy to find. Kaohsiung has sold several pieces before, and I am very familiar with this card. He found that there was nothing wrong with it from the front, but if he held the amulet diagonally against the bright light, he could see a faint blue halo on the surface of the blank in the acrylic shell.
If the real card has a halo and this one does not, Kaohsiung will not care too much, the problem is that the real card does not have a fake card, which is strange. Kaohsiung looked carefully and found that it could only be seen by looking sideways against the bright light, and it was usually not. He called two senior card dealers, one of whom is nearly 60 years old, has been engaged in the Buddha card industry in Thailand for more than 20 years, and is also the vice president of the Buddha Card Association, and he is a judge of the Thai Buddha Card Competition every year.
"If it's not the acrylic shell that's glowing, that's a problem with the slabs. The veteran merchant said, "I used to hear people say that the genuine materials in the real temple are very unique, and there must be scripture powder, temple soil and pie powder, especially the famous Long Po master, these three things are indispensable." Coupled with the blessing of orthodox Buddhism, this kind of truly powerful Buddha cards are very restrained, and the layman looks relatively simple or even old, whether it is a genuine or a negative card. Only that kind of commercial card will be made glamorous and radiant. ”
Kaohsiung hurriedly asked: "Then how can we identify the authenticity of the card as soon as possible?" The veteran dealer said that he could show him, and Kaohsiung got off halfway, changed the route to the Buddhist Card Association, and found the veteran dealer. He took this Chongdi card of Long Po Pei in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, took a picture with a magnifying glass, and then handed it to several colleagues, all of whom were also senior Buddhist card experts. After they looked at it, except that Kaohsiung said that the card blank can show a blue halo under strong light, there is no problem, but this blue halo is definitely not normal, and the real card is not.
Someone said, "If it's a fake, this blue halo must be caused by the mixing of irregular raw materials when making the amulet card." But you can't take it to the laboratory for testing, the easiest way is to find a temple, so that Master Long Po, who has cultivated more mana, can know it at a glance. Kaohsiung's doubts were even greater, there happened to be a medium-sized temple nearby, and the abbot master in it had good mana. He bought a few boxes of cigarettes, came to the temple with the Buddha card, explained his intention, and handed the Buddha card and the cigarette to Master Luang Po. Master Long Po said with a smile that this amulet card can't sense any mana, it should be fake.
This can make Kaohsiung angry, in order to prevent Huang Chengcheng from denying it, he also deliberately used his mobile phone to take a video of Master Long Po. Back at the jewelry store, he threw the Buddha card on Huang Chengcheng's face, saying that no one in Thailand dares to supply me with fake cards. Huang Chengcheng hurriedly defended: "Heaven and earth wolf heart! How can it be a fake card? I swear by my mother's health-" Kaohsiung was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly took out the identification video of the dragon woman master's hand holding the Buddha card.
Huang Chengcheng swallowed his saliva, no matter how hard he could say anything, he could only say that Master Long Po was not necessarily right, the mana of many Buddha cards was too high, and some masters couldn't see it, but in order not to affect the atmosphere of our first cooperation, I will return it to you. Kaohsiung suppressed his breath, took the twenty-five thousand-yuan baht banknotes handed over by Huang Chengcheng, and saw that his eyes were not quite right, so he became suspicious again, and counted these banknotes against the light one by one, looking at them one by one.
"Oh, Boss Gao, don't you mind?" Huang Chengcheng said, "It's all genuine banknotes, do I dare to make counterfeit money?" Kaohsiung looked at it for a long time, but didn't see a problem, so he put it in his purse stupidly, pointed at Huang Chengcheng and said Don't want to do business with me in the future, you are too unauthentic. Huang Chengcheng swore that the card was indeed real, and Kaohsiung wanted to punch him, but he still left.
Since then, Kaohsiung has never cooperated with Huang Chengcheng again, but sometimes Huang Chengcheng encounters some tourists who have accidents, such as offending people in Thailand, being dropped off their heads, hitting a fierce god, wearing an evil card, and so on. If there is a conflict with tourists in the process of leading the way to shop, they will hold a grudge, and then retaliate, and then deliberately let Huang Chengxin find Kaohsiung, and after the settlement, Kaohsiung will give Huang Chengxin three percent to Huang Chengcheng, and he will share it equally with the tour guide.
Although Kaohsiung hates this kind of behavior, it can't be stopped after all, and tourists can't sit idly by if something happens. Every time he would reprimand Huang Chengcheng for doing less bad things, Huang Chengcheng agreed, but never changed, and still did it often. That time I was deceived by the tour guide Xiaomeikeng, because I scolded her in public for being cold, I don't know if it was right, she was very angry, and after making me sick with an evil card, she didn't tell Huang Chengcheng at all, but wanted to put me to death, anyway, no one can find the murder weapon for this kind of thing. Huang Chengcheng saw that I was pitiful, and I also wanted to make money, so he naturally introduced me to Kaohsiung, so that time Kaohsiung said that Huang Chengcheng colluded with the tour guide, and he really wronged him.
I said, "Do you still have to thank Boss Huang?" Huang Chengcheng said no, it was good to invite me to eat fried crab and beer. I was completely speechless, he really thought I was thanking him. At this time, I thought of Long Yumei's younger brother and asked if you were still paying for his tuition.
Kaohsiung said: "Impossible! With my knowledge of the dead profiteer, he must have forgotten about it a long time ago." Huang Chengcheng said that Long Yumei's younger brother had already graduated from university, had completed graduate school at Sun Yat-sen University, and his academic performance was very good, and now he was sent to Germany to continue his medical doctorate, and the annual tuition fee was about 100,000 yuan, all of which he paid.
